Nura grinned and almost cried with joy. She, Nura, would see the elves, talk with them, live with them.... it was too good to be true! The thought hit her like a blow, what about Blair? She could not abandon him, betray him, he was her brother. Her only family. What would he say if he knew? She almost wept with shame. But then there was Nuhrive... the poor thing, Nura could not leave her to that fate.
She jumped suddenly, realising she had wandered away from the camp. She looked around with slight panic, taking a deep breath she stood still and listening to the sounds of the men. They were rowdy and loud so she found the direction of the camp without much trouble. Whilst heading back, thinking of a plan, she found herself faced with six wild boars between her and the camp.
Luckily they did not notice her and Nura stood perfectly still and her large brown eyes opened wide, not taking the chance to part her lips to breath. Her mind worked fast and she found these boar were a way out, a way to get to the elves. Carefully she bent over and picked up two good sized rocks. Taking a deep breath she cried out and banged the rocks repeatedly together. The boar, so startled, immediately ran from the noise, toward the camp. Nura ran after them, making as much noise as possible.
The boar reached the camp and all chaos broke loose. Startled out of their wits, the boars didn't not turn back but attacked the camp of men. The men, just as startled, jumped to get their weapons and yells filled the camp. Nura ran to find Nuhrive.
